Your solution: Emission reductions in the industry sector will be primary driven by the full implementation of the Industrial Emission Directive (IED) and its “Best Available Techniques Reference Documents” (BREFs) which are regularly updated. A recent NGO report shows that 20,000 European lives could be saved every year by setting and enforcing air pollution limits in line with best available techniques (BAT) for the 257 European coal plants (bringing down the number of deaths from 22,900 to 2,600 annually). The associated health costs savings would amount to €56.1 billion each year.
